Who is this training for?
Windows Server Hybrid administrators who have experience using Windows Server and want to extend the capabilities of their on-premises environments by combining on-premises and hybrid technologies. Hybrid Windows Server administrators implement and manage on-premises and hybrid solutions, such as identity, management, computing, networking, and storage in a Windows Server hybrid environment.
Training objectives
- Use administrative techniques and tools in Windows Server.
- Identify the tools used to implement hybrid solutions, including the Windows Admin Center and PowerShell.
- Implement identity services in Windows Server.

Approach and methodology
Practical and structured approach combining focused theory and guided workshops. Participants gradually administer the Windows Server Hybrid core infrastructure through real-world exercises inspired by business scenarios, promoting immediate application of learning. They learn how to manage critical services, integrate on-premises environments with Azure, and ensure the security and availability of hybrid infrastructures. Led by a Microsoft certified trainer, the training focuses on interactivity and the development of directly transferable technical skills to effectively manage hybrid environments in a professional context.
